Catholic Services Appeal

The 2018 Catholic Services Appeal for the 18 Collective Ministries of our Archdiocese has officially begun! The Collective Ministries are the shared ministries of this Archdiocese that no one parish can support on its own.  Those who have contributed to the Appeal in the past should shortly receive a mailing from the CSAF requesting your continued support. We ask that you once again open your generous hearts to hear the cry of the poor, the sick, the school children, and the many other people in need who are served by these ministries.    
 
Please prayerfully consider making a pledge. You can visit our website at www.csafspm.org for more information regarding the 18 Collective Ministries. Please send in your pledge using the postage prepaid envelope provided with the mailing or bring your completed pledge to Mass and drop it in the offering.  Thank you for your generosity!
